Jakobi Meyers
WR
UDFA receivers almost never reach 5,000 career yards — it marks Meyers as one of the rare undrafted players who became a genuine starter, not a depth piece.
Undrafted out of NC State in 2019 — now sitting on 5,400+ career receiving yards across NE, LV, and JAX.

Why it matters. UDFA receivers almost never reach 5,000 career yards — it marks Meyers as one of the rare undrafted players who became a genuine starter, not a depth piece.
He threw 2 TD passes in 2020 — on just 2 pass attempts that year. 100% completion, 100% TD rate.

| 2023 | 15 | 2 | 2 | 12 | 1 |
Why it matters. Throwing TDs as a WR is rare; doing it with a perfect TD rate across a season is essentially unprecedented for a non-QB.
From 0 TDs as a Patriot in his first 2 years to 8 TDs in Year 1 with LV — the move unlocked his red-zone usage.

Why it matters. The same receiver, with the same skills, produced a TD rate more than double in Las Vegas — showing how scheme and usage shape red-zone opportunity.
His 1,027 receiving yards in 2024 were a career high — and his first 1,000-yard season, at age 28.

| Yds | 1,027 |
| TD | 4 |
| Y/R | 11.8 |
| 1,000-yd seasons | 1 (first) |
Why it matters. Reaching a first 1,000-yard season at 28 is unusual — most WRs either hit that mark early or never, making Meyers a late-bloomer outlier.
He's 1 of very few UDFA WRs since 2010 to hit 5,000+ career receiving yards.

|---|---|
| Adam Thielen | 8,853 |
| Doug Baldwin | 7,297 |
| Jakobi Meyers | 5,479 |
| Willie Snead | 3,610 |
Why it matters. Only a handful of undrafted receivers have sustained production long enough to crack 5,000 yards; the list is short enough that membership itself is the story.
Mid-2025 trade from LV to JAX — and he immediately produced 43 catches in his first stint as a Jaguar.

| Tm | Rec | Yds | TD |
|---|---|---|---|
| LV | 33 | 352 | 0 |
| JAX | 43 | 495 | 3 |
Why it matters. Meyers instantly became the more productive receiver after the trade, suggesting the system fit in Jacksonville was better for his usage.
